Though his disciples know Jesus is God’s anointed king, they do not understand the implications. God’s kingdom is built by God’s power, not human strength.

Neither can a man who now runs up to Jesus, ready to learn from him. He’s a good man with great wealth. But Jesus, with a few words, exposes the hidden sins of his heart and leaves the man in distress.
